Chapter 945: The Cheater

Chapter 945: The Cheater

What incredibly powerful eyes!

Everyone in the hall snapped out of their daze one after another, their expressions filled with shock as they stared at the black-robed person's eyes.

At that moment, the black-robed person tilted his head slightly, looking with great interest toward Ye Chen and his group, as if he had known all along that they were spying on him. And he had pinpointed their direction with pinpoint accuracy.

"A group of ants."The black-robed person laughed, revealing his gleaming white teeth, while thunder raged within his Chaos Eyes.

Everyone's minds trembled instantly, and their spirits fell into a daze once more.

Thud!

Right then, the Illusory Water Curtain standing before them dissipated, wiped out by a single palm strike from the black-robed person.

"What on earth are those eyes?" Zhuge Laotou's face turned pale as he clutched his forehead. For the first time, his third vertical eye opened without being summoned, but its gaze was dim and lifeless.

"Dammit, are those God Eyes?"

"Quick, look at Taigu Xing Tian." Zhong Jiang, who was relatively composed, spoke up in a panic.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Taigu Xing Tian.

There, above Taigu Xing Tian, a strikingly brilliant star had appeared because of the black-robed person hatched from the egg. It was golden, radiating dazzling golden light, representing the black-robed person.

"A golden star represents Zhun Tian Jing. And a star this radiant means that black-robed person isn't your average Zhun Tian Jing expert."

"More than that—he's overwhelmingly powerful." Zhong Kui pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on that new golden star in Taigu Xing Tian.

"His light even outshines everyone here."

"Issue orders to the First Branch Hall to seal him off." Ye Chen gave the command immediately, his voice firm and resolute.

That person was far too mysterious and strange, having hatched from an egg and bringing catastrophe upon arrival. Whether friend or foe, he had to be captured. As the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Court, Ye Chen needed to provide an account for the tragic deaths in that ancient city.

Most importantly, he had seen those terrifying eyes, which were on the same level as the Liu Dao Xian Lun Yan, or perhaps even superior.

In Taigu Xing Tian, the stars representing the First Branch Hall's forces moved from all directions to surround that golden star. This truly reflected the First Branch Hall's army encircling the mysterious black-robed person, and from here, they could see it all clearly—that was the dominance of Taigu Xing Tian.

However, to everyone's shock, the golden star representing the black-robed person instantly leaped out of the First Branch Hall's encirclement.

"Damn, he's running that fast." Gu San Tong exclaimed in surprise. Moving a few zhang in Taigu Xing Tian was one thing, but those few zhang represented tens of thousands of li in reality!

"That guy must be cheating!"

"It's probably some secret technique." Tai Xu Gu Long said leisurely, "He burst out of the First Branch Hall's encirclement, but his speed has clearly slowed down."

"He's strong, but he's just one person, so he's still afraid of a cultivator army." Zhong Jiang stroked his beard, "With a hundred thousand cultivators attacking together, even a Tian Jing expert would struggle, let alone him—he's only Zhun Tian Jing."

"Issue orders to the Third Branch Hall, Sixth Branch Hall, and Eighth Branch Hall. At all costs, stop that person." Ye Chen said coldly.

"Understood." Hong Chen Xue nodded, forming hand seals with her hands, manifesting sword orders that were sent to the three branch halls.

Soon, in Taigu Xing Tian, large clusters of stars began moving from the southeast, southwest, and northwest directions—the armies of the three branch halls, each with a massive formation of no less than a hundred thousand cultivators.

Everyone's gaze returned to Taigu Xing Tian.

The armies of the First, Third, Sixth, and Eighth Branch Halls, totaling four hundred thousand cultivators, closed in from four directions to hunt down the black-robed person. This was perhaps the largest operation the Heavenly Court had undertaken since three years ago.

Yet, the black-robed person was unnaturally bizarre, his speed astonishing as he once again broke out of the encirclement.

"I have to see just who this divine figure is." Ye Chen snorted coldly and abruptly turned, striding out of the hall in a single step.

Right after him came Tai Xu Gu Long.

Following closely were Dao Huang, Du Gu Ao, Zhong Jiang, and Zhong Kui, all stepping out of the hall one by one. Even Gu San Tong, Zhuge Laotou, and Wu Ya Dao Ren followed suit.

In the hall, only Hong Chen Xue remained.

Her task was to guide Ye Chen and the others' directions at any time, as their stars were also in Taigu Xing Tian.

Meanwhile, the group shot out of the Heavenly Court headquarters like hundreds of divine rainbows, speeding toward the location of the black star. Their massive formation left the disciples and elders below in a state of astonishment.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Chen and Tai Xu Gu Long were the fastest. Ye Chen used Shrinking Earth into Inches, while Tai Xu Gu Long employed a similar secret technique. The Tai Xu Gu Long clan excelled in spatial secrets, and witnessing this, even Ye Chen couldn't help but feel startled.

"Lord Dragon, you've seen so much—do you know that person's origins?" As he performed Shrinking Earth into Inches, Ye Chen glanced at Tai Xu Gu Long.

"I'm just a remnant soul of the Supreme One; my memories aren't complete, and I know very little." Even the usually all-knowing Tai Xu Gu Long shook his head, a cryptic light flashing in his eyes, mixed with some confusion, as if he recalled fragments but couldn't confirm the person's background.

"What about those eyes?" Ye Chen spoke again, his words laden with meaning. "You should know about them, right?"

"Chaos Eyes." Tai Xu Gu Long took a deep breath and didn't hide it.

"Chaos Eyes?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow. "Aren't those the heaven-defying divine eyes that could only appear when chaos first opened?"

"Your view is a bit one-sided." Tai Xu Gu Long said leisurely, "The world is full of wonders; anything impossible can happen, like the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body awakening a bloodline limit."

"In that case, that person's origins must be extraordinary." Ye Chen mused, "Bearing Chaos Eyes makes him a tough opponent."

"You don't need to be so pessimistic." Tai Xu Gu Long smiled, "No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person. His fear of the cultivator army proves that. Even with Chaos Eyes, he has to temporarily avoid their edge."

"In that case, I really want to test him out." Ye Chen took a deep breath and stepped forward, covering several thousand zhang in one go.

"Northwest direction." A transmission stone in his robe vibrated—it was guidance from Hong Chen Xue.

"Keep tracking." Upon hearing the transmission, Ye Chen abruptly turned and headed northwest, with Tai Xu Gu Long doing the same. The two raced side by side, their speeds evenly matched.

"Holy crap, those two are cheating too!" Behind them, Gu San Tong marveled in astonishment.

"At that speed, we can't compare." Dao Huang laughed and shook his head.

"If you were at your peak, you might not lose to them." Du Gu Ao said flatly from the side.

"That's all in the past." Dao Huang smiled, took a step forward, and his entire body burst into flames, dramatically increasing his speed. Du Gu Ao followed suit, like an absolute divine sword, catching up to Dao Huang and leaving Gu San Tong and the others far behind.

"Those two are cheating as well!" Wu Ya Dao Ren clicked his tongue in amazement.

"So much nonsense." Tian Zong Laozu whooshed past him, followed by Zhuge Laotou, Zhong Jiang, and Zhong Kui, all moving like lightning, their speeds impressive.

Whoosh!

After Tian Zong Laozu and the others, another graceful figure flashed by at incredible speed—it was Fu Ling.

Following her, two more graceful figures streaked past like brilliant rainbows—they were Ji Ning Shuang, the sect master of Zhengyang Sect, and Shangguan Han Yue, the holy maiden of the Shangguan family.

Well, we're the slowest! Gu San Tong felt utterly embarrassed.

Aren't there a whole bunch behind us?

Wu Ya Dao Ren glanced back and saw Heng Yue Zhen Ren, Dan Chen, Su Family Ancestor, and Shangguan Xuan Zong, all lagging far behind them.

Next, Southern Chu was thrown into turmoil.

Ye Chen and his group made such a grand spectacle—hundreds of Zhun Tian Jing experts, all high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court. Every ancient city they passed over caused a stir. The Holy Lord of the Heavenly Court, the sect masters of the three sects, and the Supreme Elders were all basically present.

Under Hong Chen Xue's transmissions, the hundreds adjusted their directions continuously, gradually closing in on the black-robed person's escape route.

Dammit!

In a mountain range, the black-robed person stopped, looking up at the hazy void, his face twisted in ferocity. "I really underestimated this land. My Quasi-Emperor cultivation has been forcibly suppressed to Zhun Tian Jing."

"So what?" From the void, a majestic, icy, and ethereal female voice echoed—it was Dong Huang Tai Xin's voice.

"Are you daring enough to strike at me?" The black-robed person laughed mockingly.

"Destroying you doesn't require me to act." Dong Huang Tai Xin's words remained icy.

"Then we'll see about that." The black-robed person bared his gleaming white teeth and transformed into a mist, vanishing in an instant.

In the Grand Hall of Tianxuan Gate, before the Illusory Water Curtain, as the black-robed person disappeared, Fu Ya looked to Dong Huang Tai Xin beside him and said,"Goddess, I should go eliminate him.""He's a variable."

"Of course I know he's a variable." Dong Huang Tai Xin replied indifferently, "The cycle of reincarnation on this land has persisted for too long and has been eroded by time without cease, creating vulnerabilities."

"So we're just going to let him be?" Fu Ya probed, looking at Dong Huang Tai Xin.

"What else can we do?" Dong Huang Tai Xin took a deep breath, "If we act, it will disrupt the cycles of the heavens, and the consequences would be unthinkable. I don't want to witness another catastrophe like the one from ten thousand years ago."

"But..."

"I'll reiterate." Dong Huang Tai Xin cut off Fu Ya directly, her tone carrying supreme authority, "Tianxuan Gate— no one is to interfere in the affairs of Grand Chu. From today onward, without my command, no one is to step out of Tianxuan Gate. Violators will never be reborn."

"As you command." Fu Ya shuddered.

"Go now!" Dong Huang Tai Xin calmed slightly, "Find that vulnerability and seal it. As for the black-robed person, he's merely at Zhun Tian Jing for now—Ye Chen and his group will handle him."

"Understood." Fu Ya bowed and turned, disappearing from sight.
